Metronidazole

Hi all,

After going a and e and being referred to the surgical assessment unit, i was advised today that I am healing fine from the hemmoroid surgery I had 3 weeks ago and that all the pain and bleeding is due to the procitis (complete opposite to what my consultant said on the phone)
The doctor has requested with my consultant that my colonoscopy is booked in asap and my appointment to see him is brought forward

In the meantime he has prescribed me Metronidazole to try and help with the inflammation, I am to go back next week to discuss how it is working

Has anyone had any experience on these meds before and how effective did you find them?

Probiotics can help mitigate the side effects of antibiotics. I try to avoid antibiotics when possible but when they are unavoidable I take plenty of probiotics along with Saccharomyces Boulardii.

S. Boulardii has a proven track record of preventing diarrhea but most importantly it is not a bacteria like most probiotics, but it is a probiotic YEAST. That means it is completely immune from being destroyed by antibiotics. So it can remain in your gut to help prevent invasion from malevolent bacteria.
